I'm looking for a car-mount that will fit the Wizard.
I don't want a speaker or any connectors, just a mount, preferably with lots of foam so it doesn't squeek and rattle. I also don't want a 'window sucker' model.
I've googled it but can't find anything that says it will work with the Wizard.
Anyone seen/got one that will fit?
Me to.
I've been using Brodit mounts for the last couple of years but I keep swaping cars (between my own and a company one) recently.
This is the most promising one I've found so far.
http://www.arkon.com/pdamount.php
I like the look of this one because when I get a better case (flip type) there should be room to mount with it left in side.
Nice
Good range. Arkon only do a 'sucker' windshield mount for the jam/k-jam though.
Still looking.
Is there a UK site with them?
Any ideas when K-Jam accessories will appear? I want some screen protectors and don't like cutting bigger ones down to size.
Boxwave do some screen protectors and do ship to the UK.

The Arkon kit CM910 has a vent, sticky Dash and suction cup mount included.

I think expansys do some Arkon Kit.

Edit : I forgot to mention that Halfords do a expanding Phone Vent mount I think it's about £15.
Brodit is introducing a passive mount early this month (presumably 1st half).
Although I have not found any retailer selling it at the moment.
Cool I''ve been holding out for that one But I might get a cheap suction holder for the other cars I use.
I just bought a cheap HR Richter mini holder while I await a Brodit active holder.
Doesn't make sence for me to buy a passive holder now and an active holder in a while.
Brodit has released their mount for the wizard. I started a thread on HoFo

I'm using a plain old simple magnetic car holder from carphone warehouse which works just fine for me. £5 from carphonewarehouse - job done.

Halfords has a universal holder for £14.99 that held my Vario very securely when I tried it in the shop and did not obscure the speakers or the USB port. It came with a window sucker and a sticky pad option. I'm not sure if there were clip or magnetic options as well.
Tesco have a universal holder for £4.97 that clips to the air vents. It was in a bubble pack and I could not tell whether it would open wide enough. But I don't suppose Tesco would object to a refund if it didn't, since there is no way to try before you buy.
Further to my post above I just bought a universal holder from a Vodafone shop for £5.00. It has air vent and sticky pad options and a slick/smooth adjustment operation - better than other units I tried for £10+. There is a gap at the bottom for headphones and USB charging if needed.
I don't like the idea of blowing hot air all over the back of the phone for hours in the middle of winter so I've plumped for the sticky option. I have yet to test it on the move with the Vario attached. I'll leave it overnight for the adhesive to stay stuck and then see how it goes.

I've got one on my wizard and it looks great. I messed the first one up and i stuck the wrong side down on the screen and it gave an oil kind of effect on the screen, i'm sure the peel off sticker was on the wrong side, anyway i binned that and used one of the others i got and now it looks and fits great. had it on a few weeks now and its not scratched yet.
my last boxwave screen protector lasted over a year.

Anyone found a decent car mount for the wizard
I need one for satnav. I've seen one for about £45 that has a built in speaker etc - don't really need that
Would be interesting to hear (and see pics) of what people are using
Hi Hays,
Have you considered the Brodit holder solution?
Have a look (link below) or drop me a message and I will be happy to advise (Wizard listed either as Xda Minis or MDA vario)
you have the choice of passive holders, active holders charged by cig lighter or permanent fixed power version also for hidden cables etc. All attach onto a proclip mount that is specific to your vehicle, in a variety of positions on your dashboard.
Hope that helps,
Cheers, Bryson
That kit looks very good quality - seems quite expensive though !!
I use different cars at work, so I need something that can be moved easily. Could I use the holder with a different mount, ie perhaps a vent mount (that's not too hard to move from car to car) or failing that a suction mount (not too keen on a suction mount due to the smaller display of the mini s )
Was thinking of this

Bryson, I'm after a active holder with no cable attached, so that I can add a "Y"-type lighter plug cable that will charge both my Qtek 9100 and my Bluetooth GPS mouse. (I had a similar one for my h6340, and want to stay with Brodit.)
Is Brodit developing such a holder design soon?
Hi,
Yeah there are 2 available from Brodit, codes 848650 & 848655 (Called passives so you can insert your cable as mentioned)
Check this link and scroll down past the Xda Exec holders to the Mda Vario/Xda Mini S/ Qtek 9100 holders
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/tmobile/tmobile.html
Hope that helps, take care, Thanks!
Hello,
I got mine shiped from the US to Germany within 2 weeks from www.thepocketsolution.com which have a fast feedback and good customer support in general. The mount device works perfectly well as expected.
Thomas
I got the brodit clip and horizontal holder for my XDA Mini S from dsldevelopments, and am very happy with both the clip and the service!
I tried one of those cheap ebay mounts that clips onto the airvent but thay was useless and moved all over the place. The brodit clip goes over my S60's vent perfectly and is very solid.
The only thing I would suggest is instead of using the supplied screws to attach the holder to the mount - use velcro. I did this on mine so that I can quickly remove the holder and put it in the glove box. Good for security as passers by cant see I have a satnav mount and wont try breaking in to see if its in the glovebox!
Hi,
Instead of velcro, Brodit make a 'Moveclip', one part fits on the back of the holder, the female (2 supplied for x2 proclips) part fits onto the proclip, and both parts slide together, giving an very strong fix, and also the flexibilty of being able to move a holder between 2 vehicles with proclips/gooseneck installed. (also serves the same purpose of being able to remove the holder from sight to stop the thieves!)
Hope that helps, heres a link:
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/hotpages/march06/minimoveclips.html
Cheers,
Bryson!
instead of a car mount I did something different. I just bought myself a nice case for the mda vario (e.g. noreve, piel frama). These cases are made of leather, and therefore they have good grip.
I just lay the case on the kilometer radial in front of me, and it stays there. Even in sharp corners.
The advantages are: cheap as you don't need a car mount and thief protection as there is no car mount visible.
Has anybody seen a car holder for the HTC Touch HD? Not the univeral ones which fit for a lot of different devices. I mean holders like the ones from Richter or Brodit.
I couldn't find any touch hd specific ... looks like these vendors are slow with expending their product portfolio!
As usual for every new phone, i order the Herbert Richter product

Hi there,
The holders for our Touch HD's have arrived at the Brodit-site:

I don't know about other countries/suppliers, but in the neterlands, www.pdaplus.nl says the will have them in 1-2 weeks...
Well spotted Nooky, not even on their news page yet! This is the one I have been waiting for. Any UK suppliers yet?
Can you also use this holder in landscape mode?

DSL Developments, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/. Very helpful and now have them available to order. How soon they'll ship them, no idea.
They also offer a 3-in-1, with:
- Mini USB for charging
- 3,5 mm audion for sound out
- HTC Ext USB for original headset
Surely, if it only attaches to ExtUSB the 3.5mm and the ExtUSB for headset won't work? Connecting a HTC Headset from Polaris certainly fails on HD ExtUSB...

If you buy the "tilt swivel" version; you can.
The opening to slide it in will remain on the short side, so if you tilt the holder 90 degrees the phone is held by the upper and lower side and the left OR right side (with the usb-plug).
I have had several holders from brodit for my HTC phones and the phone is always held so tight (without scratching!) that you won't have to worry that the phone will slide out sideways when in landscape-position.
Anyone used the Brodit Holder with their ProClip Mounting over the vent? I prefer not to drill holes or stick it!
I've used a Brodit Proclip on my last three cars, brilliant fit every time, latest is over the vent. Recommended.

Yes, I normaly use proclip over the vent so that I'll have the phone near to me and in clear view.
Brodit has amazing produts made of very good and solid plastic. Not like some low cost holders that you might find.
But I think it all depends on the car you have. Brodit normaly has several sugestions to place the proclip, so I think they have it for everyone taste.

I've upgraded from a HTC Trinity (which came with Herbert Richter car mount) and this works very well with the Touch HD - it's a slightly tighter fit, but very stable and allows the car charger to fit easily. Thought some people may find this useful at least as a stopgap until the proper Touch HD one is available
Hi,
What about a good holder that attaches to your windscreen? The Brodit ones are all very well but what happens if you are using a different car? Say if you go abroad and get a hire car, will the brodit holder be able to transfer?
the previously mentioned: Herbert Richter car mount uses a sucker. i am trying to decide between that and the brodit. Herbert Richter car mount isnt out yet for the HD.
Do either of them allow you to use it in landscape as well?
You can buy a sucker for the Brodit too if you prefer (or additionally):

Brodit holders come in two parts, a custom bit that holds the phone which is unique for each phone, and the proclip bit designed for your car. Where exactly on the dash it fits depends on which which car you have and which proclip you buy for your car. You're best off calling to find out, although most of them seem to have an option to fit over the central air vents.
Hi,
Any update??
I have preordered from mobilefun but still nothing.
Hi,

What one did you get?, and did you get a in car charger with it?
I'm looking for one that attaches to the dash/air ventthat will also support a chrger.
Was looking at the Brodit one, and although they do look quite nice, £50+ for the holder and clip is a little steep in my mind.
I got the passive one, I already have a HTC car charger (with a pretty blue light). I only got the phone part as I already had the vent mount for my car from my previous phone. Thats the benefit really - you only need to change the phone bit. The Brodit mounts are a bit expensive but the quality is excellent and the phone fits really well

Cheers - one last question - I see the tilt and swivel, but to the rotate though 90°, so the phone can be viewed horitontally (i.e. when using it as a Sat Nav)?
Yes the mount is in two parts, the bit that attached to the car and the bit that the phone goes in. The connection between the two is a swivel joint

I have just bought the proclip and passive holder from dsl, then I bought a car charger from ebay, I will post what they are like as soon as they arrive, and if I'm clever enough to fit them in my car.
11/06/09
The cradle arrived today, it turned out that I actually ordered the wrong proclip, I intended to buy the one that bind to the right A/C vent of my (RHD) Corsa, but instead I ordered one that binds onto the bottom left of the dashboard. As it was though, I actually think the ordering error turned out for the better, the postion of the phone was still very readable, easily reachable, and it means that when I plug in the phone charger I won't see a wire dangling all the way across my dashboard, which would be unsightly as well as inconveineant. I would recommend this position of proclip for everyone, I know it seems strange that you need to look down at the phone, but when I took it out for a spin today it worked great.
Unsuprisingly, the cradle itself was fantastic way worth the extra money I paid for, the phone actually slips into position, I was sceptical at first about perfect fits, but the fit really was impeccable.
The fitting process was simple and straightforward (if I can do it anyone can) but requires a bit of brute force, but in my opinion that just came to show how sturdy the kit is. You know it's not going to go anywhere.
For those who are looking for a car holder for their TP2 and can't find one yet, I have made a useful discovery.
The Brodit TyTNII Holder actually fits the TP2 better than my TyTNII ever did!
http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/holder/HTC+TyTN II-Brodit-Holder.asp
I tried it last night and it slid into the fixing nice and easily.
The only issue I had was that I have an active holder, so the miniUSB connector wasn't lined up and so wouldn't charge the phone. I'm sure with some careful modification it wouldn't be too difficult to sort that out though!
I'm now in two minds as to whether I even bother getting a proper TP2 kit when it's out!

Depends, you can just screw it into your car, but I use the Brodit Proclip which is different for every car. Mine hooks around the side of the radio and into another groove and is very solid, then the holders screw into the proclip.
Proclips are probably the best way forward, no holes in your car
I have a dashmount kit from www.dashmount.co.uk as the proclip from brodit doesn't seem to fit my car correctly.

I have the passive brodit holder for the TYTN II, but TP2 doesn't fit without scrating it.
seems to fit in my origional htc trinity carrier perfectly, only problem is i cant charge it lol so ill have to get a new one eventually
thank you for the tip!!
I have a Brodit Active holder for my old P3600 (Trinity) and it fits real nice...
After some modifications (I cut off the USB part, and super glued it back on at the correct place to fit my TP2) I now have a Brodit Active holder that I can use again!
No scratches what so ever!!
(saves me about €50 )
^Good Tips...Brodit has always been my favorate car holder for all my devices!
do you know when the TP2 model will be released?
thanks
asked brodit and they say later next week...
Brodit holders now available. Just got to wait for them to filter to your resellers now.
Active: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=512021&sortiment=null
Passive: http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=511021&sortiment=null
As I have already said, looks more or less identical to the Kaiser mount with a central support.
A word of warning to people buying, I had 2 active Brodit mounts that killed 2 different Kaisers because the charger unit was dodgy.
In the end I got another replacement from Brodit but I was too cautious of them by then, so I hacked an official HTC car charger into it.
I am personally gonna get the passive holder and use my HTC charger as I'm not going to take the risk again.
The htc supplied trinity/m700 one fits a dream but needs the bottom cutting out a little as the plug socket is in a different location. Damn good sturdy mount as well.
not sure I'll be getting any until it is confirmed that the pins are aligned and the phone does charge when using GPS.
I had issues with the Brodit one for the Kaiser and when it never worked they blamed HTC

I ordered a passive mount this morning and a new proclip to see if they ship the right one this time!
I'd try and heed my advice about the active mounts. At least wait until some other poor guinea pig has tried one!
I asked HTC This:
Is there an option for the HTC Touch Pro2 with the HTC 3-in-1 connector bundle?
Or is this compatible:
Set A
- 513021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
Set B
- 512021 Active Holder, Tilt Swivel
- 945011 Adapter Cable
In terms of connecting my HTC touch Pro2 to a charging unit (built in the car) and also using the AUX out of the device via the mini-USB.
I want to know if the 3-in-1 cable/connector is able to be “plugged” in into 513021 of 512021
They answered me this:
It will also come a 3-in-1 holder for this device. The item no will be:
519021 short cable
520021 long cable
I hope those will be ready within 2-3 weeks.
One thing that you need to keep in mind with the 3-in-1 cables in that if you plug it in, the external speaker gets disabled. therefore if you're planning on using the mount for satnav, you'll need to hook it up to an aux-in on your car speakers in order to get any sound!
